How To Make Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich
- Slice the ribeye steak as thinly as you can and season it with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Preheat the oven to 400 F.
- Heat ½ tbsp of oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and sear the steak slices for about one minute on each side.
- Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, toss and transfer the steak to a plate.
- Add the butter to the same skillet and saute the veggies over medium-high heat until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Return the steak to the skillet, toss, and remove from heat.
- Assemble the open-faced sandwich:
- Spread the bread with mayo
- Place 3 slices of provolone on each half of French bread
- Divide the meat/veggie mixture evenly between both halves
- Place 3 more slices of provolone over the meat/veggie mixture
Bake for 10-15 mins or until the cheese is melted and the bread toasted. Slice for serving.
How Do I Store Leftovers?
Wrap any leftovers in plastic wrap and foil (tightly) and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven so it stays crispy. The microwave will make the bread too soft.
Can I Make Philly Cheese Steak Cheesy Bread In Advance?
Making the meat/veggie mixture in advance is a great idea. You can store in in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, but assemble the sandwich and bake it the day you plan to serve it.
